Re:Ask HN: How do you employ LLMs for UI development? on Thursday February 19, 2026 @10:31AM (#47074883)
I got some ideas from this t3․gg video that work pretty well for me:

https://youtu.be/f2FnYRP5kC4?si=MzMypopj3YahN_Cb

The main trick that helps is to install the frontend-design plugin (it's in the official plugins list now) and ask Claude to generate multiple (~5) designs.

Find what you like, and then ask it to redesign another set based on your preferences... or just start iterating on one if you see something that really appeals to you. Some details about my setup and prompting:

  - I use Tailwind
  - I ask it to only use standard Tailwind v4 colors
  - It should create a totally new page (no shared layouts) so it can load whatever font combinations it wants
Re:Please Just Try Htmx on Thursday December 18, 2025 @08:55PM (#46321434)
My company makes a few products - one of them is just forms, lists, and links. When the codebase was really small we tried using htmx, then alpine ajax, then datastar. We stuck with datastar and I really enjoy it for projects that don't have a highly complex client state. Overall it's a really simple build and deploy process. I find it easier to secure and to reason about. Additional bonus: I'm able to lint the whole thing with biome since it's just typescript and jsx templates.
